Abstract: 

The aim of this paper is to fruition waste material like PET bottles in concrete pavement to saves natural resources, to saves energy and reduces solid waste. An experimental investigation was carried out to look over the effect of five geometrical shapes of PET fibers on M30 concrete characteristics after adding 0.5% fibers by volume of concrete. Multiple physical, mechanical and performance experiment were performed on concrete constituent materials along with fresh and hardened concrete. One side circular cut fiber indicates better improvement in results when added in the concrete mix. Therefore, this may be utilized in concrete pavement construction to bridge cracks, increase ductility
